Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7299

Chapter 7213: The War God Bell!

The Illusion Goddess, her gaze slightly narrowed, said, “Generally, this standard is only reached in the event of a major incident. At that time, the commanders of ten thousand and above will assemble in the front hall, while all the Demon-Slaying Army soldiers below the commanders of ten thousand should wait outside the hall.”

“Then how many times should I ring the bell when I take office as the War God?” Li Tianming raised an eyebrow slightly.

“Naturally, four times.” The Illusion Goddess nodded. “Although there is no crisis in the defense line, our Eighth Heavenly Division has suffered from a lack of leadership for thousands of years. Now is the time, and such an important event should be witnessed by the entire army. This is the proper procedure.”

“Alright.” Li Tianming nodded without saying anything more.

He walked directly towards the War God Bell, his steps unhurried.

During this process, the Illusion Goddess raised her voice slightly towards Li Tianming’s back, “The rule is that they should assemble, but you have seen the current situation of the Eighth Heavenly Demon-Slaying Army. In reality, this inauguration ceremony cannot be guaranteed to go smoothly!”

Li Tianming remained silent, only walking towards the War God Bell.

Meanwhile, in the camp of the Eighth Division of the Heavenly Rank, when Li Tianming wasn’t passing by the group of Demon Slayers, they began to discuss more boldly.

“This newly arrived War God, Li Tianming, seems to be heading to the Eighth Division’s War God Palace.”

“Really? Is he so clueless as to invite humiliation? Who will respond to him now?”

“If he rings the War God Bell four times and no one in the Demon Slayers pays him any attention, I wonder how interesting his expression will be…”

Many couldn’t help but sneer, waiting to see this good show, waiting to give this War God a further lesson.

After a while, a melodious bell rang out from within the Eighth Division’s War God Palace.

*Clang*

—This bell, carrying the powerful aura of the array, although not earth-shattering, could slowly resonate for a very long time.

In the blink of an eye, the bell had spread throughout the entire Eighth Division of the Heavenly Rank.

Everyone listened intently, but there was no reaction, some even sneering.

But a long time passed, and not a second bell rang!

Time passed, and the Demon Slayer Army was completely bewildered, their faces filled with confusion.

“Does Li Tianming not know the rules of the War God Bell?”

“That shouldn’t be the case. He’s accompanied by a border general; surely the general knows?”

“Then what is his intention now? What exactly is happening inside the Heavenly Eight War God Palace?”

Countless people were stunned, their mouths slightly agape, unsure what to say, while many others were curious.

At that moment!

In the front hall of the Heavenly Eight War God Palace, Li Tianming, after striking the War God Bell once, clapped his hands and stepped down from the platform, heading towards the Illusion Goddess Border General.

The Illusion Goddess Border General, her red lips slightly parted, looked at Li Tianming with some astonishment.

“Why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?” Li Tianming said with a smile.

“Didn’t I already explain to you that you need to strike it four times to officially take office? Why did you only strike it once and then come down?” the Illusion Goddess Border General asked, puzzled.

Li Tianming blinked and said, “No need, this is fine.”

“These three deputy generals are challenging your authority like this, don’t you have any thoughts at all?” the Illusion Goddess said speechlessly. “I thought you dared to directly cripple even a young emperor, so you had the courage to fight these deputy generals head-on. I didn’t expect you to still lack backbone in the end…”

Li Tianming wasn’t annoyed by this, but smiled mysteriously, “Think what you want. If I have to painstakingly persuade each one to believe me before I can barely sit in this position, then it only shows my incompetence.”

“You don’t even have the courage to face everything directly, I don’t believe you can produce anything else,” the Illusion Goddess said calmly.

Clearly, she was very dissatisfied with Li Tianming’s decision to only ring the War God Bell once, and was indeed speechless.

Summoning only the deputy generals, without gathering others, was tantamount to meeting with them.

This could easily be interpreted as having more implications.

At this moment, discussions arose among the Heavenly Eight Absolute Demon Army.

Many people laughed out loud, increasingly eager to watch the show.

“This War God Li only met with the deputy general. Could it be that he wanted to surrender to the deputy general?”

“What else could it be? This young upstart’s strength is far inferior to the deputy general’s. Meeting alone like this, without the entire Demon Extinction Army present as witnesses, is tantamount to putting himself at a disadvantage. What’s the difference between that and surrender? Maybe he’s going to lay his cards on the table and completely relinquish his full strength.” “

He probably thinks it’s too shameful to admit defeat. He doesn’t even dare to meet with the border general and the commander of ten thousand, afraid of becoming a laughing stock in the future.”

“Does he even need to become a laughing stock in the future? He’s already become a laughing stock now. As a newly appointed War God, it’s truly rare to see someone go this far. I’m afraid even the entire Heavenly Emperor Great Wall has rarely seen

such a thing.” Throughout the entire Heavenly Eight Demon Extinction Army, everyone was discussing Li Tianming’s bell-ringing, and they couldn’t help but laugh whenever the matter was mentioned.

At the same time, figures emerged from the three huge deputy general residences of the Heavenly Eighth Division.

After confirming that there were no more bell rings, the three figures set off from their respective deputy general residences towards the War God Palace!

Meanwhile, Li Tianming stood solemnly in the front hall of the Heavenly Eight War God Palace, awaiting his arrival.

…

Li Tianming waited patiently, but the attitude of the Illusion Goddess General was slightly colder.

She didn’t seem particularly averse to Li Tianming; rather, his actions left her somewhat disappointed and speechless.

Of course, this was only what Aurora and the others perceived on the surface.

Aurora and Sui Shenyao didn’t inquire about Li Tianming’s intentions in detail; he must have his reasons for doing so, and they unconditionally trusted him.

At this moment, three figures suddenly appeared across the sky from the Heavenly Eight section!

They emerged from their respective deputy generals’ residences. The members of the Demon Extermination Army, upon seeing them, seemed to know their identities.

The entire Demon Extermination Army of the Heavenly Eight section whispered among themselves as they watched the figures fly across the sky.

“I wonder what this War God is up to. Has he really become this cowardly? This isn’t like him at all,” someone wondered.

Some people watched the three figures streaking across the sky and muttered, “Vice General Wei Qingyu, Vice General Yu Mo, and… Vice General Jiu Yang? No, that’s not it!”

A person next to him heard this and looked up, then widened his eyes in surprise and said, “The one who replaced Vice General Jiu Yang is actually a woman from the Star Realm Clan? Who is she?”

At the same time, more members of the Demon Extinction Army noticed this strange scene. They were supposed to be summoning vice generals, but there were other people in the procession.

Soon, someone’s pupils contracted slightly as they exclaimed, “I remember now! This is Jiang Yu, a commander of ten thousand, and also one of the women of the Nine Suns Deputy General!”
